A beautiful book with incredible human stories and stunning photos. I'm glad to know such goodness exists in our world related to the natural world.

this was so lovely, an internet friend who is included tipped me off and i pre-ordered, so it was really exciting to see it in print, and goodness the photos are brilliant and the stories so human and personal and expansive. highly recommend. i might take it to work and stick it in our clinic break room so folks can flip through it - it’s a really good exercise in empathy and horizon-widening.

All Humans Outside is simply stunning. Tommy Corey utilizes his photography to accent the stories of individuals finding their passions, finding healing, or even finding their most authentic selves while outside. Some of the individuals profiled have always embraced the outdoors and some found solace there after a major life challenge or change. The people Corey profiles are diverse in every way - athletic level, body size, race, gender and sexual identity, and those with disabilities and those without. Each person interacts with nature and the outdoors in their own individual way - kayaking, climbing, hiking, skiing, swimming, and many other ways - and this connects each reader as they can visualize how they most connect with nature. Corey's photographs are simply stunning and bring each of his subjects to life in a way that only reading out them wouldn't. Looking forward to see more of Corey's work!
